Synopsis

After Oskar and Suzie split up, Oskar lives with Arnold, and Arnold has to get them back together before Oskar drives him crazy.

Plot

Oskar and Suzie are arguing again. This time Suzie is fed up with it and throws Oskar out. He asks Ernie and Mr. Hyunh if he might stay at one of their rooms for the night but they tell him to leave. So he goes to Arnold's room asking Arnold if he can stay; because Arnold tells him that he doesn't like that idea, Oskar pretends to have fallen asleep in Arnold's bed.

The next morning Oskar surprises Arnold with bringing him breakfast to his bed (which he had taken away from Ernie). But then Arnold finds out that it is 10:30 already and that Oskar had turned off the alarm clock so it wouldn't wake him...After Arnold comes home from school, he is planning on studying for the rest of the day. But the he finds Oskar playing (or at least trying to) saxophone. After Arnold tells him to practice on another day, Oskar says Arnold should study on another day instead. The following day Arnold comes home after a bad test and again finds Oskar in his room. This time he is standing at his desk, messily cutting fruits and making smoothies. Later, 2 friends of his, Vic and Morrie, come over to play cards. Eventually Oskar loses all his money, so he bets Arnold's CD-player which he — of course — loses as well.

So Arnold has had enough: He is going to bringing Oskar and Suzie back together again in order to get his room back. First he tells Suzie that Oskar wants to invite her to a dinner on the roof under the starry sky. After hesitating a bit, Suzie agrees to meet him. Then Arnold manages to convince Oskar as well. At the dinner Oskar and Suzie start disputing again. During the dance Oskar steps onto the feet of his wife so often that she needs to cool them. After that Arnold is about to serve the dessert — two cherry tarts — but trips over Suzie's shoes and drops one tart into the tub in which Suzie is cooling her feet. Ignoring Arnold's advice to give the remaining tart to Suzie, Oskar eats it up all alone. So an enraged Suzie tells him “That is it Oskar. You’re never gonna change. You don’t care about anyone except yourself.” and abandons him again. Oskar asks Arnold what that was about: Arnold tells Oskar “She’s right. You don’t care about anyone except yourself.” and departs, leaving Oskar to think about his actions.

In the morning Oskar explains to Arnold that he will move out of the boarding house. Suzie catches him right before leaves. She wants to give him some money so that he won't have to leave empty-handed. But surprisingly Oskar rejects her offer. Suzie is amazed that Oskar appears to have thought of someone else before himself for the first time in his life. She forgives him and Oskar moves back in.
